Instead, it appears that the Penguins are looking for a two-pronged attack on the power play, hoping to spread out the talent to make for two potent units. Forward Steve Sullivan was also moved back to the point on one of the units.

Sullivan was previously featured in an all-forward power play for Pittsburgh, which they used briefly until he went down with an injury in the final week of the season. That could be back in the works, as well, which would be music to the Flyers’ opportunistic penalty killers ears.

As you know, a working power play can mask almost any inefficiency in playoff hockey.

The Flyers, of course, were 1-for-1 on the man-advantage, with Brayden Schenn capitalizing on the Flyers’ only opportunity to knot the game at 3-3 in the third period.

Schenn became the Flyers’ first rookie to post three points in a playoff game since Ville Leino did it in Game 5 of the 2010 Stanley Cup final against Chicago.

Trivia: Can you name the six other rookies to have posted a three-point playoff game? Aside from Leino, they are: Andy Delmore, Peter Zezel (4 pt game), Brian Propp, Mel Bridgeman, Andre Lacroix, Rosaire Paiement. Honestly, I didn’t even know a guy named Rosaire Paiement played for the Flyers.
